excellent analysis - 5/5 stars. i could not have put it better myself, so thank you for saving me the hassle of responding to the lies the media here presents.

and, i think it's number 1, as you say - ppl are dumb, they don't know how a fixed income is valued and what parameters affect it's value - they see 'rates are going up, b/c RE doesn't go down, that means payments go up - oh shit, BUY BUY BUY'

the average person, and the majority, are idiots - don't be surprised by their actions.
